2. Draw a picture of the calculator screen with the test data used in the depreciation formula.
3. Translate the algebraic version of the formula into a Visual Basic calculation assignment statement using these variables:
Dim DepRate As Single 'DepRate will be used in place of r which stands for the depreciation rate. Dim SalvageValue As Single 'SalvageValue will be used in place of S which stands for the salvage value which is what it is worth after it has depreciated. Dim Cost As Single 'Cost is used in place of C and stand for the original cost of the item. Dim Years As Single

Refer to the directions for Chirps.frm in your VB notebook.
Crickets chirp more slowly as the temperature gets colder. For a certain kind of cricket, you can predict the temperature by counting how many chiprs they make in 1 hour, and then plugging that into this formula where T stands for temperature which is measured in degrees Fahrenheit and C stands for the number of chirps made in an hour.
In Visual Basic we need to use the variables and constants as they appear in the declaration, besides using the proper operation symbols in the assignment statement used to calculate the temperature.
Given these declarations, what would be the assignment statement to calculate the temperature? Remember to use the proper syntax for Visual Basic. In VB, an assignment statement must be written (typed) on one line straight from the keyboard. No special formatting is used.
